Tarangire National Park

Introduction

Tarangire Elephants

Tarangire National Park is about 120 kilometres from Arusha and is commonly included in safaris in the region. It is famous for its baobab trees, tree-climbing lions (though almost never seen anymore), and elephants. Due to its year-round water, it has an extremely high density of wildlife during the dry season.

Getting There

By Car

Sleep

Sun Bright Camp at Mto wa Mbu, about an hour from Tarangire and close to Lake Manyara National Park, is a good value option. (Limited) hot water, electricity, and booze are available here. It's a popular stop for safaris.
